Alan Cumming, Grand Marshal of the 2025 NYC Tartan Day Parade

It's the moment you've been waiting for! We are proud to announce the Grand Marshal for our 27th annual NYC Tartan Day Parade, award-winning Scottish actor Alan Cumming.

Cumming has won two Emmy Awards, a Producers Guild Award, two Tony Awards, an Olivier Award, and a BAFTA, and is recognized for his roles in The Good Wife, GoldenEye, Spy Kids, X2: X-Men United and, most recently, The Traitors. For the parade he will wear a custom kilt designed by 21st Century Kilts and a jacket designed by Geoffrey Tailor & Kilt Maker.

“As a Scottish American there can be no greater honor to be back as Grand Marshal for the Tartan Day Parade in New York City, and especially as this year is my first as Artistic Director of Pitlochry Festival Theatre - another huge Scottish honor that I hold dear,” Cumming said. “I promise to be faithful and to dress up for the occasion!”
